About
J. Mi Lee is a leading figure in orthopaedic biomechanics, with a focused expertise in the surgical reconstruction of the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee. Her most-cited work, a 2003 study, provides a critical biomechanical analysis comparing two common reconstructive approaches: the biceps femoris tenodesis and the popliteofibular ligament reconstruction. Using a sophisticated robotic/universal force-moment sensor system on ten human cadaveric knees, Lee’s research rigorously evaluated the effects of these procedures on knee stability under various loading conditions. This seminal paper, cited 30 times, has directly informed clinical decision-making by clarifying the mechanical advantages and limitations of each technique. By quantifying the restoration of rotational and varus stability, Lee’s work has helped surgeons optimize outcomes for patients with complex PLC injuries. Her contributions are foundational for anyone studying knee ligament reconstruction, offering a clear, evidence-based benchmark for evaluating surgical efficacy in this challenging anatomical region.
